For almost ten years now, we at Café Philo have been striving to find our way to a culture of conversation and shared exchange that does not apply theory to experience as a prefabricated tool, but rather seeks to gain it from the reflection of experience itself. That this, or at least much better, was possible in conversation was clear to Plato - and, for that matter, to great Renaissance philosophers - who gave the process of philosophical knowledge the shape of conversations between two or more participants in a conversation. Not on their level, but in their way, Café Philo reflects terms and concepts that we consider to be life-determining, from our own everyday and extra-ordinary experience.
The previous themes of Café Philo were:
WS 2020/21: Capitalism and Crisis
WS 2019/20: "Radiant will be the future..."
SS 2019: Hate
WS 2018/19: Tolerance

SS 2017: On the question of education

As a rule, Café Philo takes place on the first Tuesday of the month, eight times a year and adapted to the semester of the Adult Education Center, with which the format has been organized in cooperation from the beginning.
The theme of the next Café Philo is: JOY
